Heroes of World War II

Season 1 Episode 9 of 10
Nigel Spivey pays tribute to the men of Britain's elite Pathfinder Squadron, who flew night-time missions over Germany and dropped flares onto strategically important targets, enabling bombers to find them more easily. It was due to their efforts that Hitler's military-industrial complex on the Ruhr sustained major damage in 1943, halving Nazi weapon production and effectively shortening the war
